2. THE OSHAWA TIMES, Sefurdey, Mey 23, 1964 | Revenue Gains GOOD EVENING -- By JACK GEARIN -- Yield Surplus OTTAWA (CP)--Finance Min- ister Gordon reports a budget surplus of $72,700,000 for April, COUNCIL FIRES OPENING GUN ELECTION CAMPAIGN ; is 60 rare as a public speech by Alderman Norman Down? of nom Unlike some Council col- leagues (such as Alderman John Dyer) who talk fre- » quently when the mike is on, Mr, Down is sparse with words, except in committee, where he will fight like a tiger if he suspects anything is wrong. That's what made last Monday a memorable night at City Council. Mr. Down was scheduled to make a speech; on the surface, he was scheduled to read the Report of the Pub- lic Works committee, but there was far more to it " than that. eames bis oteg To emphasize the impor- tance of the occasion, City Engineer Fred Crome personally distributed copies of the report (prepared by himself with kind and loving care) to members of the press, an almost unprecedented courtesy. Mr. Down was getting right down to the meat of his apeech -- a report to the Lake Vista Ratepayers Association --when somebody made a startling discovery. Mr. Down was talking under the impression that his words were going out to a radio audience; nobody had troubled to tell him that, the radio had closed down 15 min- utes earlier than usual. So there he stood, fidgeting and fuss- ing like a frustrated Shapespearian actor who sudden'y dis- covers he is without an audience. 'Do you want me to read this thing in dribs and drabs, or in great chunks?" he asked Alderman Clifford Pilkey, chairman of Council in committee, "Personally, | don't want you to read it at all," he re- plied. "We all have copies, as have the Press." i thought we were on the air," continued Mr. Down. "IT wanted to read this because we are sometimes accused of neglecting Lake Vista, What I have here are hard facts on that area. Some say that area is without representation at City Hall . . . they use this as an argument in favor of the ward system." ONLY MAYOR GIFFORD SPOKE OUT THE TRUE ®ACTS Mr. Down's aborted speech was important, but for rea- sons far removed from those he gave. ; Actually it signalled the f start of Oshawa's 1964 mu- nicipal election campaign. Try as unbiased observers " did, they couldn't shake off the idea that the speech text was anything more than a blatant piece of pre-elec- tion propaganda designed to fool the unwary. Who ordered City Engineer Fred Crome to prepare such a one-sided statistical report on Lake Vista? Was it Board of Works Chairman R. Cecil Bint and his two colleagues, Aldermen Pilkey and Down, or was it the entire Council? MAYOR GIFFORD The speech text appeared : to have the blessing of all councillors, but Mayor Lyman Gifford spoke, out against it with refreshing candor: 'This is counter-propag in an election year, and not too subtle at that. The \précemeal in- formation inclded wasn't requested certainly by anyone off council; and why did they put it through open Council in this manner? This has never been done before." VISTA CHARGES DISTURB COUNCILLORS Prime purpose' of the Down report was two-fold: (1) To attempt to nullify charges from the Lake Vista Ratepayers Association that their area has been shamefully neglected at City Council level between 1955-1962, if not later. (2) To subtly blast the proposed Ward system due for decision in next December's plebiscite. Any argument can be advanced by such methods as those displayed by Couicil Monday, i.e., presentation of hand-pick- ed statistics which tell only one side of the story. The Down report points out that Lake Vista got 11.21 percent of the City's total construction expenditures (the latter sum was $1,007,783) in 1963 and 11.94 percent in 1962. It also mentions that Vista has only 4.94 percent of the total popula- tion Such figures can sound impressive, but why did Mr. Crome (or Aldermen Bint or Down, or somebody on Council) not give similar totals back to 1955, if they had any sense of fair play. Ali of these gentlemen were at City Hall during this era Why didn't Mr. Bint or Mr, Down stress some of these facts: Lake Vista today still lacks curbs and gutters, has few paved roads, sidewalks, yet their taxes are as high, if not higher, than those in far more preferred residential areas, such as sections of Masson street (not too .far from the general area Where seven of our councillors reside.) If Mr. Down was. a conscientious representative of that populous south area (where he owns a farm), why didn't he stress the inequality in assessments? Does he know that owners of five-room bungalows on Valley Drive, Sharbot and Wecker Drive, pay as much as $341.05; $321.19; $329.42 and $345.00 annually in taxes. What will their taxes he when they get curb and gu'ter and other services? Why doesn't Mr. Down answer these questions? Why didn't Mr. Bint present a breakdown on the general tax revenue derived from Lake Vista area since 1955, in- cluding that from ministry? The City did spend 11.94 percent of construction expendi- tures in 1962 and 11.21 in 1963 in the controversial Vista area, but only because it was shamed into it after so much neglect. Council was shamed into it by the constant appearance, of s0 many Vista delegations, by persistent people like Citizen John Dehart, the LVRA president. What area has sent as many delegations to Council, and with good reason? Even a casual visit to this southwest district will elabor- ately spell out the reason. THE REAL ISSUES IN THE CAMPAIGN? Here's what disturbs Council: Vista proves beyond shad- ow of a doubt that populous municipal areas can suffer from gross neglect for lengthy periods without effective represen- tation at City Hall Vista is a thorn in the political aspirations of most coun- cillors; most of all, it effectively repudiates the oft-heard theory that the present electoral system automatically as- sures equality of representation at City Hall. If Council is to effectively thwart inroads: already made by the Ward system advocates, it must quickly create an al together different image of Vista. Who said Vis'a was a mu nipical child of neglect? Why it's a myth, isn't it, a great big misunderstanding?

But at 'the By RONALD LEBEL OTTAWA (CP) -- The Com- mons discussed foreign affairs for nearly four hours Friday, but an issue closer to home--the question of a national flag--ob- viously was on most minds. There was another flurry of flag questions and barbs at the opening of the sitting and Prime Minister Pearson said he hopes to introduce a resolution for adoption of a distinctive flag next Wednesday or Thursday. He said the design will include a maple leaf, but declined to go} into details. Rumors immedi- ately sprang up that the cab- inet may have approved a 'de- sign with a single big leaf and jumked the three-leaf flags that Mr. Pearson, exhibited at a Win- nipeg press conference Monday. Many other questions went un- answered. Will next week's res- olution propose O Canada as the national anthem, or will that subject be left for a separate end of April the cash balance still was relatively high at $603 100,000.

Overweight has become a national disease. Each year we spend millions of dollars, and work up an- xiety, and go in for frenzies of determination, seizing upon crash diets, special reducing diets and highlytouted drug nostrums -- and still keep yearning for some simple presto formula to slim down and trim .off the extra pounds. But you really can lose weight and keep 'it down, by acting upon a few fundamen- tal physiological laws gov- erning the reasons why most of us gain weight. The first immutable law is that calories absolutely DO count, off pounds are based upon a deficit of calories, no matter how they are advertised. Our new young husband -- let's call illustrates the way possibly a ma- and thus. veering. closer to- ward a premature heart at- tack. George began consuming tastier and more food -- and | more calories, and it makes no difference if the calories come from proteins, sugars, starches or fats. Any excess over expenditure is banked by the body. He likely also gave up the sports or exercise habits of his bachelor days, or with promotions or changes in his job began working less hard physically, Spending fewer calories, he needed fewer to hold his former weight. EAT LESS EACH YEAR '~The same thing happens to the housewife who later spends less time running after her children, or doing her own him George Live- | need 100 fewer per day than at age 30; the excess is de- posited in the calorie fat bank. A George Livewell taking in 100 more calories a day than he needs -- including costs of his physical activity or exercise -- in 35 days can gain a pound, or 10 pounds in a year! If he decides to lose 10 or 20 pounds 'n a few weeks time, he starts out in trou- ble. He expects too much, too soon, 3 Let's assume he's a. big- framed fellow, eating 3,000 calories a day, and liking it all, but it's too much, by cutting down to 2,800, he would stop gaining MORE weight. But cutting to 2,600 400 fewer calories dail y-- he could lose 20 pounds over a year's time (the way he gained it) at no great sacri- fice or self-pity, no over, drastic change of habits. To maintain each present pound of weight -- if you are moderately active -- requires about 15 calories per day. So to maintain a desirable weight of, say, 150 pounds, your maintenance goal is 150 times 15, or 2,250 calories a day. | On Writ OTTAWA (CP) -- The Com- mons Friday furbished the an- cient remedy of persons who consider thems e! ves illegally imprisoned and with rare unani- mity passed through all its |stages a private bill sponsored \by John R.
